Ver 21.02.2 fails to install
-
Currently running 2.4.5-RELEASE on a Netgate SG-5100. System detects (albeit very slowly) an available update (21.02.2). Confirming the update install causes the router UI to first go blank, and then disappear (looks like a 303 error) when using Safari 14.1.
Eventually the UI becomes responsive again but nothing has installed. The router is remote so I've opened up the admin UI to the world, seeking to close that off asap.
Using Chrome, the router does get get to: "Please wait while the update system initializes", but never past that.
Any ideas?

Enable SSH and connect to it that way.
At the cli run
pkg-static -d updatemake sure completes without errors.If it does exit back to the menu and run option 13 to upgrade from there. You'll get far more feedback about what's happening.

Well hell. I enabled ssh (and that's it) and now the web UI isn't responding nor is ssh. Router is still pinging. Any way out of this pickle without being onsite?

You just enabled SSH? You hadn't yet added a firewall rule or port forward to access it?
Hard to imagine what that could have caused if so.
Is it inaccessible both internally and externally? Can you get the serial console connected to anything locally?
It's possible the process required to generate the SSH keys is simply using all the available CPU cycles if something else was already stuck using a lot. If that is the case it may finish doing that after some time and become available again.
